Erin has been a performer since the age of 6, and started co-creating biographical theatre at age 15 while in the Wilcox Stage Company. In her time at Naropa University, she wrote and performed two short plays embodying autobiographical content: "Sensory Mudra," and "BloodRoot." 

 

Her writing has been featured in Thought Crime Magazine (2008) and The Shambhala Sun (2014). Tattered Cover Press in Denver published her first book of poetry, Traveling By Mirror, in 2012. Her latest writing -- all leading up to this project -- can be found in the SASSY portfolio, hosted by Naropa University.

Erin considers herself an explorer, a listener, and an artist. Her work in Bewegungen Berlin has already been regarded as a transformative new step in shaping the future of Somatic Psychology.
